Where it comes from
Schuessler (2007)提出，丹 (上古 *tân)（< *tlan）和矸 (*kân)（< *klan）（見於《荀子》），均表示“朱砂”，可能互為異體，理論上均可能衍生自一外來詞 *klan；上古漢語的首音及帶 *t- ~ *k- 的同源對似詞，均表示本詞可能是從他處借入上古漢語。他進一步提出，本詞可能來自侗台語族，對比 原始侗水語 [具體何詞?] (h-lan^C，“紅色”)。此外，Matisoff (2003)認為本詞衍生自原始漢藏語 *t(j)a-n ~ *tsa-n，但 STEDT 目前對該詞和本詞之間沒有給出任何聯繫。
與旃 (上古 *tjan, “紅色無飾的旗幟”)有關。可能也與袒 (上古 *daːnʔ)有關，因為皮膚的顏色常與“紅色”相關。
